Pros

Flexible work schedule gives Raytheon employees a great work / life balance. Pension and 401(K) match makes Raytheon's compensation package mostly unique, where employees get to "double dip." Finally, with management approval, employees are offered opportunities to work beyond 40 hours per week and get compensation pay for the extended work week (at the equivalent salary $/hour).

Cons

Slow moving (sometimes a glacial pace) company who reacts far to slowly to market and customer needs / wants. The employees are inundated with process, which is constantly getting more restrictive, disallowing the employee to use their best judgment as to what makes sense. The salary compensation is, I suspect, below average, but the overall compensation package is likely above average. However, the upsides FAR outweigh the downsides.

Pros

I worked at Raytheon for over 4 years and had a great experience. The company provided many learning and growth opportunities. I was promoted twice during my tenure with the company, and my responsibility increased significantly. I felt like my management supported me and provided me with the career mentorship that I was seeking. I felt empowered and respected during my time there.

Cons

It can be difficult to work at such a large defense contractor company because of all the process and red tape. Things can move slowly, you have to be patient and pick your battles. That being said, if you learn how to work within the system, you can make a significant impact here!
